At least 3,000 signatures are needed on a petition in order for there to be a citywide vote.

Brandon currently does not allow restaurants to sell liquor or wine by the glass.

The new mayor of Brandon said he is not taking sides.

"I am middle-of-the-road, because of the people I engaged with as I began my process of running for office was if I talked to 10 people, I will find four of those who are adamantly against, four of those are going to be adamantly for, and you got two in the middle that are going to be middle-of-the-road. So that's my position on it," said Mayor Butch Lee.

Lee took over as mayor of Brandon in March after former Mayor Tim Coulter stepped down.

Proponents have said if voters approve liquor and wine by the glass sales, it will bring more revenue and restaurants to the city, while opponents claim it will add more problems like drunk driving.
